Has anyone experienced black scalloped shadows along the left (long) edge of their iPad screen? How did you get rid of them? My iPad is about 3 years old if that helps... I don't know exactly what model it is. I also just updated the iOS.

Yours is the third report of people getting the shadows I've seen since updating. If you have a cover remove it.
If the showdows remain try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait until your iPad starts on it's own.
THanks Bob - I tried both of these and the shadows are still there. Unfortunately this happened before I updated the iOS. I thought updating the iOS might make them go away. The shadows on the side are pretty annoying :/
You're welcome. I've seen screenshots of the shadows and agree they're annoying. Can you think of any change you made to you iPad that might have caused them ? An earlier update ? Beyond that I can only recommend a trip to the Apple Store to have your iPad checked out.
You're welcome. The basic trouble shooting would be the reset I described already. Then come settings> general> reset> reset all setting. Be sure you know your wifi password because you'll have to re-enter it. Then comes a Restore. Unfortunately without a computer I can't help you on this step.
The problem without knowing the cause we're just shooting in the dark as to a solution. Please post back if the trip to the Apple Store was succesful. Thank you.
OK - I went to the apple store and ended up buying a new iPad. They said the reason this occurs is because moisture got in (which is strange because I've never spilled anything on the iPad). They looked at my iPad and agreed that it was in great shape, other than the shadows. But needless to say, they told me that eventually the shadow would spread and my whole screen would go black. and they can't fix it... they just replace it. So I had to buy a new one 😟 So there goes $250....
Thanks again - I was trying to avoid a trip to the apple store. But I guess I'll have to go cause I can't figure it out. LOL
Thanks for the update. Sorry to hear about the $250.
